[pagliaccio_euforico]

Has to be a red

 

[Bada-Bing!]

So 2-0 to Ecuador

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Qatar are too bad to rig this.

I wonder, right now, what are the odds of the organizers getting a penalty (in their favour) before the end of the game?
Gotta be astronimical.

Our announcers are talking about qatar pulling their keeper lol

If they get possession in the box it's 95% gonna end in a penalty.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Qatar are awful.

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

Qatar are awful.

Their crowning achievement is losing 1-0 in the gold cup semi final when we only used MLS players.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

3-0

 

[pagliaccio_euforico]

The 2031 rwc opener will be worse than this

 

[General Melchett]

The Qatari prawn sandwich brigade don't look too happy.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

Anyone see that viral tweet claiming Ecuador were paid off to lose 1-0? The Bookies must be delighted, and possibly responsible.

 

[Bada-Bing!]

Lol. A gift and still couldn't score.

So they broke down the offside goal and the toe of the shoe was offside according to the same company that called Florida for bush.

BBC ignores World Cup opening ceremony in favour of Qatar criticism

UK coverage kicks off with focus on treatment of migrant workers and gay people, and corruption at Fifa

www.theguardian.com

Wish America had the nerve to do that

Look, this is not rocket science. This is the pic circulating that allegedly justifies the off side call. Two problems with that pic

1- The still is frozen when the ball arrives at the spot. The rules clearly state the call should be made based on when the ball was passed/kicked, not when the ball 'arrives'. The still was made either by someone incredibly ignorant or cynical.
2- There were two other players literally erased from the pic (one of them being the goalie). There is a time where that leg goes a bit past the goalie but that was when the ball was 20 meters away from where it was kicked from.

This is beyond ludicruous.

That's what we were shown at half time. A 3D rendering in which all the other players on the field were cut out of the picture. It's so bizarre. Then they had our rule expert come on to explain that the offside rule requires two players (no ****).

At least the Qatari fans can drown their sorrows with some Bud Zero.

My friend who is going with his family clearly doesn't read the news. Just texted that since when he visits his grandparents in Cairo he can get beer he assumes he'll be able to get beer in Doha.
